As to Wallace, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians served as the Steelers offensive coordinator for all three years of Wallace’s career. As to Jones-Drew, former coach Tony Dungy has said multiple times that he wanted to draft Jones-Drew in 2006.

Wallace is the more likely target, even though the Steelers have said he won’t be traded. Coach Chuck Pagano has said Donald Brown will be the “bell cow” tailback. Besides, the Jags likely wouldn’t want to trade Jones-Drew within the division.

Regardless, Irsay’s reference to his “check book” means that, whoever the player is, he will be expecting a new contract.

Stay tuned to Irsay’s Twitter page.

UPDATE 7:50 p.m. ET: Irsay, perhaps realizing that tweeting about a possible trade may not get it done, especially if it wakes up some other team that could be interested in acquiring Wallace or Jones-Drew, has now decided to “move behind the curtain!” Unfortunately for Colts fans, the great and powerful Oz already has spoken.

Who is he talking to? Is he talking to another team? Is he talking to others in the Colts organization to get a feel for whether he should pursue this idea? Is he talking to Snap, Crackle, and Pop?

If I were a Colts fan, I would absolutely try to get Mike Wallace. He’s proven to be an asset, which is a better addition to your team than rolling the dice in the draft. They will have a high draft pick, but you still can’t be a young FAST receiver with good hands and the Arians connection definitely makes sense for Wallace, should he be looking to move.

They already tried once to get Mike Jenkings from the Cowboys. Dont be surprised if they sweetened
the pot to get him. They need corner help “badly”
to say the least.
I dont think Mike Wallace is going anywhere, and the Jags need MJD badly to take pressure off their second year quarterback, Gablert.
But I could be wrong… just my guess

He’s an idiot with a checkbook.

I would accuse him of trying to appear as if he competed for the services of a player on the trading block that he already knows he won’t land, but I honestly don’t think he’s smart enough to think that far in advance.

Must be deep into his daily bottle of scotch. This guy is a complete buffoon. Someone take his twitter handle away from him.

A drunk billionaire buffoon can say whatever he wants to! Are you going to be able to counter his offer?

I wish this moron would just stop talking he cant stand going a few months with out seeing his name in the news. I think half the time he just bluffs so that he can see his name in the headlines again your the owner theres no reason for you to even talk right now

Aaaaahhh, yes, pretty close to anything. that’s kind of how the world works – always has. It is not a new phenomenon in spite of the all the whining in the media lately.

All Logic points to a Defensive player and everyone knows they are desperate for a corner I’m betting it’s the Dolphins Vontae Davis the phins have 3 solid corners in Sean Smith, Richard Marshall and Davis. Davis has been demoted in favor of Marshall but put up solid seasons the past 3 years. The Dolphins are rebuilding and might as well trade a guy who is slated to be their nickle corner for as much as they can get to help them retool.

Going with James Jones from GB.

Don’t think when every team is 0-0 that someone will want to trade in division or even in conference so with that in mind

Possible candidates

Osi- He signed a one year contract, and Strahan said he was being taken advantage of… Might of regretted signing the deal.

Irsay is filthy rich and I am not. I’m embarrassed. And jealous. The world isn’t fair.

Khan is stupid enough to trade MJD within the division.

He still thinks Americans ride trains…

Some people are born on 3rd base and think they hit a triple.

If it is Bowe, KC would be smart to pick up a number one for him. Next year they can draft someone much cheaper with less of an ego. Baldwin has looked good in camp, so maybe he is ready.

mwcarolina says:Aug 24, 2012 12:11 AM

this must mean Irsay’s about to give us a number one for T.O.! (I mean who else would be dumb enough to do that? besides the Redskins…)
———————————————————-
hahaha, funny. No team is that stupid though. TO isnt worth even a 7th round pick if he’s complaining.

As for who i think it is, some are saying linemen. if it’s an o-lineman, i cant guess who except Jake Long, but that would be like an 8 steps back deal for the Dolphins. the one with most sense is Wallace, but it seems the Steelers dont want to deal him, Bowe’s interesting, i wonder if the Chiefs trade him though. if the trade goes down, then it will be interesting at least because Irsay tweeted it and made it a mystery.

I don’t see any issues trading MJD within the division. Think Andy Reid and Donovin McNabb. While MOJO still has a few years left in the tank, it’s not like he’s going to be the difference from the Colts being the AFC South bottom feeders to perennial champs (once again) for what might be the rest of his career. If this fool is crazy enough to offer a first rounder for him then bye-bye MOJO. I’m a Jags fan and I love having Pocket Hercules on my team, but you just can’t say no to a first rounder for an aging RB wanting mega money.

Ed Reed? Yeah bro I’m sure any team would give up a first or second for a 45 year old. Get real.

Still the best coverage safety in the NFL and I really dont give a damn who he is talking about as Im not a Colts fan. Just taking a guess

Dwight Freeney goes to Baltimore to replace Suggs, and the Colts acquire Ray Rice so Bernard Pierce can be their featured back.

Irsay is none to smart.

the only owner in any professional sports league who intentionally told his team to lose, and was happy watching them lose, as long as they got #1 pick….karma watch out

It’s funny, I’m a Colts fan, follow the team religiously, and have NO recollection of this happening. Can you provide me a link to that quotation? Thanks.

As a Vikings fan, I could see Percy being on that list if all of this “I’m happy now” stuff was just a show. I certainly would be fine picking up the colts first rounder for him given that both teams will likely be drafting top 10 this coming draft.
